We are pleased to announce that Vine Toolkit supports now gLite Storage Resource Manager (SRM). The appropriate project can be checked out here.

Vine Toolkit implements SRM as new file management plugin. All SRM instances, registered in Domain.xml, can be seen as file systems in portal's FileManagerApp.
Registration of SRM service instances in Domain.xml is illustrated by the following example:

Although httpg protocol is now obsolete, there are still some services which use it. It is possible to access such a service from Vine Toolkit modules, however one should not forget about some tricks. To see the complete and working example, look at srm project, paying special attention to SrmFileManager.java class, implementing file system plugin for gLite Storage Resource Management.

All hints, presented below, are snippets of codes taken from SrmFileManager.java class.

Obviously, it is possible to configure the Vine Toolkit to use a custom Certificate Authority.

To take advantage of this possibility portal installer configuration file, build.properties, should be modified. The list of projects must contain grid and gt2. It is very important to add both projects together!
Exemplary list of projects can be seen below:
